Does Electron IPTV work on Google TV?
Yes. Google TV is Android TV with a different home screen, and Electron IPTV installs from Google Play on both.
An IPTV player built for Android TV, not stretched onto it
Electron IPTV has a separate interface for televisions: every screen is designed for a remote, it is set up from your phone in a minute, and a channel that drops reconnects on its own. It plays the Xtream Codes or M3U subscription you already have.

Which TVs and boxes it runs on
Any television, stick or set-top box running Android TV or Google TV with the Google Play Store, on Android 9 or later. Amazon Fire TV has no Google Play, so Electron IPTV is not available there: a copy installed outside Google Play cannot subscribe.
Designed for a remote
Navigation, focus and every dialog are built around a D-pad, and typing is kept to a minimum: the first setup starts on your phone, search listens to your voice, and a channel number goes straight to the channel.
- Set up from your phone: scan the QR code on the TV, the details travel over your Wi-Fi
- Voice search across what is on now, coming up and to watch again, then films, series and channels
- Type a channel number, or zap your favourites by their own numbers
- The clock and your playlist at the top of the home screen
Live TV on the big screen
Pause any live channel and pick it up later, even after the TV's screensaver. Watch up to four channels at once with Multiview, and let the TV switch to the picture's own refresh rate so films and sport play without judder.
- Pause and rewind live TV, up to an hour
- Multiview: up to four live channels side by side
- Match the TV's refresh rate: 50 Hz for 50 frames per second
- The Sport screen: every match of the week on your channels
- After 4 h 30 with no key pressed, the TV asks whether you are still watching, so an idle box does not hold your connection
Your phone and your TV, together
A phone can copy its whole setup onto the TV (playlists, favourites, reminders) over your home Wi-Fi, encrypted and never through a server. Once paired, each device offers "Continue here" for what the other is playing.
Set it up in a few minutes
- Install Electron IPTV from Google Play on the TV.
- Open it, choose "Set up with your phone", and scan the QR code with a phone on the same Wi-Fi.
- Paste your provider's message, or type the Xtream Codes or M3U details, on the phone, then confirm on the TV.
- Your channels load into your provider's own categories, with no account to create.
Questions
Can I install it on an Amazon Fire TV Stick?
No. Fire TV has no Google Play, and Electron IPTV's subscription goes through Google Play, so a copy installed another way cannot be subscribed to.
Do I have to type my password with the remote?
No. Choose "Set up with your phone": the TV shows a QR code, and you type or paste the details on your phone instead. If the phone cannot reach the TV, you can still type on the TV, or use the keyboard of the Google TV app.
Do I pay again for the TV?
No. Same app, same subscription, with a separate interface on the TV. A purchase on your Google account covers your phone, tablet and TV: "Restore purchases" brings it back on any of them.
